Ehsan Akbari

Ehsan Akbari's research spans two areas: using microfluidic (lab-on-a-chip) devices to study how blood vessels form and how fluid flow, electric fields, and signaling molecules affect the permeability and sprouting of blood vessel walls, and more recently, studying how chromatin proteins called linker histones assemble onto DNA-packaging structures called nucleosomes. This work combines engineered lab models of tissue and cells with molecular biology techniques to understand basic processes in vascular biology and genome organization. It would suit students interested in bioengineering, cell biology, or biophysics with a hands-on, model-building approach.

Publication output was relatively steady from 2017 to 2020 (3-4 papers/year) but has slowed markedly since 2021, with only a few papers per year and none in 2024.
